Chapter Text
“Come on, Mika. Please?”
Yuu begged, walking a few meters behind his friend through the village in which they lived now for just over three months in order to hide from the army after that incident at the airport of Nagoya.
“I said “no”.”
Mika said without turning around.
“Only for one night.”
“No.”
“Until tomorrow morning.”
“That’s one night, so no.”
“For an hour?”
“No.”
“You can have most of the space.”
“No.”
“The whole blanket?”
“No.”
“The pillow?”
“No.”
“Why not? We always did that when we were kids.”
“But we’re not kids anymore, Yuu-Chan.”
“But it still would be fun.”
Mika stopped walking, causing Yuu almost to bump into him. He turned around to face him.
“Seriously…Why do you want us to share a bed so badly?”
“Because we didn’t do that in a long time.”
“…”
“So?”
“…No.”
Mika said looking away from him. He absolutely hadn’t a clue why Yuu was so fixated on sharing a bed with him all of a sudden.
It has been three weeks since he returned from his demon form and had slept alone in that shed since then. Everything seemed normal. But this morning he suddenly came to him, suggesting that they could sleep together in one bed like they did back then and he didn’t want to let up on that idea since mentioning it the first time…and it was already late in the afternoon.
No matter how many times Mika told him he doesn’t want to, Yuu just didn’t give up. He tried to avoid him for some time just to have some peace, since he was getting quite annoying but that didn’t help. He was following him everywhere, not letting up once. He even tried to ignore him once but if Yuu was being ignored he was even more annoying than before.
At this moment he would be more than glad to see Shinoa and the others just to get rid of him for a while but they were too busy to help the villagers for the rest of the day so he had to deal with him alone.
“What’s the big deal in sharing a bed?”
Mika sighed before looking at him again.
“Yuu-Chan. I’m a vampire. I don’t need sleep.”
Yuu looked at him as if expecting him to continue talking.
“…Is that all? Just because you don’t need sleep?”
“Huh?”
Mika looked at him with an irritated expression.
“If so then don’t worry. If you don’t need sleep, it’s fine. You don’t have to sleep, you can just stay awake, I don’t mind.”
“…”
Are you fucking kidding me?!
“So? How’s that sounding?”
“No.”
“Why not? It’s not like you had something to do at night.”
“I have.”
“For example?”
“Watching out that nobody from the army finds find us. Instead of shift change, all of you can sleep at night and since I stay awake the whole night anyway, I have something to do. It’s a lot safer like this. ”
“If they really had wanted to find us they would have found us already, don’t you think?”
“…”
I know…
We’re not that far from Nagoya…If they really would had searched for us, they had definitely found us. But we didn’t see a single soldier since escaping…Maybe we are of no interest to them anymore since they already have a play toy of their own which does everything what they tell it to do…
“Mika?”
He was pulled out of his thoughts by hearing his name.
“Hm?”
“…Still not want to share a bed?”
He asked with a begging smile.
Mika only rolled his eyes in annoyance at this question before he started to walk again trying to get away from this useless discussion.
“H-hey wait.”
Yuu called after him trying to keep up with him.
“Don’t know why I should if you repeat yourself over and over again.”
“Come on, don’t be like that.”
“…”
“I promise it’s only for one night, nothing more.”
“Did you listen at all?! I. Don’t. Need. Sleep!”
“It’s fine if you don’t need any. Like I said, you can stay awake.”
“…”
“Just for an hour. Not more. You have my word.”
“…”
“I swear I won’t ever ask again, just-“
Suddenly Mika stopped walking and turned around looking at him with an angry expression.
“WOULD YOU STOP FOLLOWING ME ALREADY?!”
He yelled at him causing Yuu slightly to wince at that sudden outburst and staring at him in surprise.
“…What-“
“I said: Stop. Following. Me! Since this morning you were nothing but annoying!”
“…I-I just-“
“I don’t care! I don’t care about what you want or why you want it! You repeat yourself constantly! And besides, I already said “no”! Do you even listen to what I say?! Can’t you understand that not everyone is going to dance to your tune?! Stop forcing your will onto others already!”
“…”
“Stop bothering me! Just leave me alone!”
He shouted before turning around again and walking away, leaving a baffled Yuu behind. He never saw him that angry before and he couldn’t remember a single time where he was ever angry at him for any reason.
…I…didn’t want to make him angry…and I’m not forcing my will onto others…I just-
… Well, it doesn't matter anymore anyway…
